The fiery sun glistened in Alex’s eyes, clouding her vision with a bright haze. Off in the distance, she could see a strange figure standing in the middle of the crystal blue water. Alex had been on this island for as long as she could remember, and she had built her entire life here. Her now husband, child, and home were on this island, secluded from the rest of the world. She knew everything and everyone who lived here, and this man was certainly not a fellow native. But what could he want with her quaint island?

TASK
The ability to describe a character, setting, or really anything else within a roleplay is crucial. While everyone might not picture it the same way, a description should be clear and vivid. Your task is to try to create a visual representation of the character described below. At the end of the contest, we will reveal the image that inspired the description.

His deep mocha eyes are narrowed, squinted as he stares back at you. His nose sits plain and long at the center of his face, and his lips are narrowed thoughtfully, hidden amongst the deep black beard extending from his face. His facial hair appears to mask the thinning hair on top of his head, jet black and well-kept. Only a small peak appears on the front of his forehead, seemingly out of place.

Below his roughened head sits a well-toned body. HIs arms appear muscular, and his caucasian skin is tanned as though he has been in the sun for quite some time. His abdominal muscles are well-defined, and his chest exhibits only the slightest bit of jet black hair between his pectorals.

It is easy to imagine muscular thighs beneath the knee-length grass skirt that hangs from his waist. Although his legs appear more filthy than tan, his feet are calloused and covered in dirt, indicating that he has traveled quite some distance.

Your entry can be created using any graphical format, including hand-drawn art and/or photo manipulation, as long as all work is your own.
